About

Kepi Chen is a pioneering roboticist whose work bridges humanoid locomotion and precision manufacturing. His research centers on bipedal robot gait design and intelligent robotic drilling systems for aerospace assembly. Chen’s most cited work, “Gait designing of biped robot according to human walking based on six-axis force sensors” (2004, 6 citations), was instrumental in the development of the THBIP-I humanoid robot. This project successfully achieved slow static walking and laid the groundwork for dynamic locomotion by using force sensors to capture ground reaction forces—a foundational step toward stable, human-like gait. In parallel, Chen’s 2014 study on “Optimization Design for Normal Direction Measurement in Robotic Drilling” (5 citations) addresses a critical challenge in large-scale assembly: ensuring hole perpendicularity on curved workpieces despite manufacturing errors. By improving measurement accuracy, his work enhances fatigue life and aerodynamic performance in aircraft structures. Though his citation counts are modest, Chen’s contributions are deeply practical, advancing both humanoid robotics and industrial automation. His research exemplifies how sensor-driven design can solve real-world engineering problems, from walking robots to high-precision drilling.
